Abstract

Different approaches for the characterisation of relevant parameters of the low-voltage mains network, used for high-speed data transmission (BPL, broadband over power line) are described. Part 1 of the paper depicts the disturbance scenario of these BPL devices and the motivation will be given for the development of a new measurement procedure in CISPR for the estimation of the high-frequency characteristics of AC mains network. The improvements of the measurement method is not restricted to BPL applications, but can also be applied to other wire-based telecommunication systems. Part 2 of the paper shows the definitions and comparisons of different symmetry factors. The transfer of the results on the compliance test for BPL devices will be shown.
